The Lord uses us as torches

We are children of God, bearers of the only flame that
can light up the paths of the earth for souls, of the only brightness
which can never be darkened, dimmed or overshadowed. The Lord uses us as
torches, to make that light shine out. Much depends on us; if we
respond many people will remain in darkness no longer, but will walk
instead along paths that lead to eternal life. (The Forge, 1)

Iesus Christus, Deus homo: Jesus Christ, God‑man. This is one
of “the mighty works of God” [1], which we should reflect upon and thank
him for. He has come to bring “peace on earth to men of good Will” [2],
to all men who want to unite their wills to the holy will of God — not
just the rich, not just the poor, but everyone: all the brethren. We are
all brothers in Jesus, children of God, brothers of Christ. His Mother
is our mother.

There is only one race in the world: the race of the children of God. We
should all speak the same language, taught us by our Father in heaven —
the language Jesus spoke with his Father. It is the language of heart
and mind, which you are using now, in your prayer — the language of
contemplation, used by men who are spiritual, because they realize they
are children of God. This language is expressed in a thousand motions of
our will, in the clear insights of our minds, in the affections of our
heart, in our commitment to lead a virtuous life, in goodness, happiness
and peace.(Christ is passing by, 13)

catholic market, mercado católico

It is a little bit strange that, being one of the main duties of the Church to help the poor, why not help the catholic Church producers of goods by choosing to buy all the goods we need in these catholic Church producers in such a way that catholic Church increase their means to help the poor. If you, a catholic Church producer wish to advertise here, please contact me and I will immediately put your site here
